Arsenal make third transfer bid for Mykhailo Mudryk as they offer £62m plus add-ons with Shakhtar star desperate to move

ARSENAL have reportedly made a third transfer bid to Shakhtar Donetsk for Mykhailo Mudryk.

The winger has been tipped for a move to England and is the No.1 target for the Premier League leaders.

The Gunners have had two bids rejected already for the 22-year-old by his club.

Now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the situation by claiming that another offer has been lodged.

And this one is worth £62million plus add-ons.

He tweeted: “Arsenal new official proposal for Mykhaylo Mudryk is close to €70m fee plus add-ons, submitted tonight as revealed earlier.

“Negotiations ongoing with Shakhtar Donetsk to discuss on the add-ons package.

“No issues on personal terms, Mudryk wants the move.”

Mudryk is currently in Turkey with his teammates for a warm weather training camp during the winter break.

He was spotted locked in talks with club chief Darijo Srna yesterday as he looks to secure his exit to the Emirates.

The ace has been a star for the club this season and is a much-wanted target of Mikel Arteta's side.

Arsenal have had two bids turned down as Shakhtar are holding out for a larger fee, believed to be £88m.

However, the North London club are believed to be closing in on an agreement to sign him, which would be a massive boost.

The Gunners will hope that if they can land Mudryk that he can help add some firepower in their hunt for a Premier League title.

Following injury to Gabriel Jesus, Arteta's side are short in attack, despite Eddie Nketiah's current purple patch of form.

This season Mudryk has netted ten times in all competitions, including three in the Champions League.
